UFC 316 is scheduled for this Saturday, presenting a thrilling card highlighted by two significant bantamweight championship bouts.
In the co-main event, Julianna Peña is set to defend her recently won title against former PFL champion Kayla Harrison, who makes her anticipated debut inside the Octagon. The main event features Merab Dvalishvili taking on Sean O’Malley for the championship. The promotional material frames this as a rematch from their UFC 306 encounter, where Dvalishvili is stated to have previously defeated O`Malley for the belt.
The `UFC 316 Countdown` special provides an in-depth look at both of these pivotal title contests. It covers O’Malley’s recovery following injury, Julianna Peña’s journey back to competing for the women’s bantamweight title, and Kayla Harrison’s extensive path leading her to this major opportunity in the UFC.
The event itself will be held this Saturday at the Prudential Center located in Newark, New Jersey.
